Welcome to my Mother's Day Gift Guide. Today I will be talking to you about Kristian Regale.

I have to say this was a popular item in the house. I planned on drinking these on Easter but I was sick and was unable to get out. But, everyone in the house loved these Sparkling Juices. My kid's actually loved them too. And my Dad tried these and ended up drinking the whole bottle. They arrived very well packed and in a varity of great tasting flavors. Some of the flavors we tried were Apple, Pear, Peach, Pomegranate-Apple, Black Currant, and Lingon-Berry Apple. What I love is they have a variety of flavors and this took the place of me having soda cause this has bubbles to and I loved all the flavors.

From Sweden, to Minnesota, to you!!!

The Kristian Regále story begins, as legend has it, with a countryside bike ride through Sweden when the company’s founder and her husband tasted a refreshingly delicious, all-natural, crisp apple sparkling drink – one that would change her taste buds and the rest of her life.

Intuitively, knowing how popular this unique beverage would be at home in the United States, she approached the locals for the recipe and tirelessly traveled back and forth to Sweden to perfect it. Although the story has shifted shapes over the last two decades, the ending remains the same: the KR brand was born.

From her kitchen home office, makeshift garage warehouse, and with her two sons as delivery boys, she successfully began selling Kristian Regále in the Midwest region of the United States. Soon after, four executives with significant experience in the food industry approached the working mother with an investment opportunity.

The result? A stellar business partnership, and the distribution of Kristian Regále nationally and internationally (we’re even in the Caribbean!) in supermarkets, big box stores, specialty gourmet markets, natural food stores and more.

It's what's inside that matters:

At Kristian Regále, we have our Swedish ancestors to thank for the use of only the finest all natural ingredients. Who knew then that they’d be fulfilling the interests of today’s consumers. If you notice, we use as few ingredients as possible in every bottle of Kristian Regále. It was their philosophy then, and our belief now that at the end of the day it is our job to bring you something that’s not only good, but also good for you. Traditionally speaking, we hope you enjoy the crisp refreshing taste of Kristian Regále as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.

Natural Beet Sugars

Geranium Botanicals

Natural Fruit Juice

Two Thirds Less Sugar

No Preservatives

Alcohol Free, Caffeine Free

Our difference is just that, we're different:

In a stale (no pun intended) market saturated with heavy sodas, ciders and too much sugar, KR has stewed up something fundamentally different. We wanted to give people a beverage that was anything but typical so we created an all natural, non-alcoholic sparkling juice fit for any occasion. Kristian Regále is light and refreshing, high in antioxidants with no preservatives or artificial flavors. This all sounds a little to good to be true, but thanks to our Scandinavian forefathers, we’ve perfected the recipe.

Whether it’s a night out on your deck or a night out on the town, KR is always classy… and responsible. Just when you thought we couldn’t get any better, KR is certified as kosher by the Orthodox Union and proudly wears the kosher OU symbol on its label. The best part, it’s all in one bottle; not many beverages can hang their hat on that. What you’ll find in a bottle of Kristian Regále is not typical of what you’ll find in any of our competitors’ bottles. But then again, we’re anything but typical.

We really loved all the juices and loved all the flavors we were able to try. Remember if you want that bubbly taste but don't wanna drink soda drink some KR and for this Mother's Day it would be perfect!!

Welcome to my Mother's Day Gift Guide today I will be talking about a special company called Little Green Pouch what a cleaver idea you don't need the little pouches of baby food anymore. If you are like me when both Jordyn and Jayce were starting out with baby food I made all their food and at that time I never heard of these but they would of came in handy. We used them for apple sauce and the kid's were so excited to eat the apple sauce out of them. As you can tell by the pictures. I love this idea that you can put your own baby food in these pouches and then wash them and reuse them. You can also freeze them too. What better way to carry some food on the go. Have a Dr appointment?? Or maybe going out for a picnic these are perfect.

With Maggie’s first son, Kelley, trips to the grocery store were definitely on her “dread” list. When she had her second son, Finnegan, aka the Finn-A-Monster, it moved to the top of that list. But then Maggie’s grocery store began stocking those food pouches you've probably seen.

On one particular visit, after substantial clamoring, Maggie caved and popped the tops of two pouches. A miracle ensued - she watched in amazement as her boys sat quietly in the cart, working out ounces of healthy fruits and veggies, which they wouldn’t dare eat out of a bowl. Never missing an opportunity, she sped through the remaining grocery store aisles in relative peace. By the time the shriveled pouches moved along the conveyor belt to checkout (yes, she paid for them) Maggie realized that she had all of the items on her shopping list, and when was the last time she had done that? Someone’s new product had just made her life easier, and she was in love.

But Maggie’s romance with food pouches was short lived. Yes, she loved the fact that her kids could feed themselves, that they would actually be clean after doing so and that she didn’t have to lug around spoons, bibs, bowls, napkins and breakable jars. But she found that the pouches were expensive and offered a limited variety of foods. And she cringed each time she had to throw the single-use packages in the trash. That is when she realized the world needed a “reusable” food pouch that could be filled with the foods her kids like (or she wants them to like), which would help her save money, as well as the planet. Not a bad idea, right?

But an idea is just an idea until you make it happen, so Maggie reached out to her close friend (designer and recent new mom of baby Bailey) Melissa to help. Maggie and Melissa realized that they wanted a product that wasn’t just practical, but that was also, well, beautiful. Something they'd be proud to whip out at the playground, park or store. Even something they'd eat out of themselves. After several planning sessions, Maggie and Melissa realized that they had the perfect team to make this a reality. And the Little Green Pouch was born.

The Little Green Pouch has made Maggie and Melissa’s lives easier, and they think it can do the same for you. Perhaps it will even allow you to buy all of the fruits and veggies on your list during your next shopping trip. (And puree them of course.)

The pouches:

Fill-able: Zipper sealed at the top so the pouch can be opened & filled with up to 6 Oz of your favorite pureed foods, For the 1st use, remove cap & blow into pouch to expand it to its full, supple shape!

Reuse-able:Our food pouches are made of durable, BPA-free, PVC-free & phthalate-free plastic. They are built to withstand those beatings that only young children can give & (after cleaning) take some more.

Freeze-Able: If you like to cook homemade baby food in big batches, why not fill up a bunch of our reusable pouches and pop them in the freezer for later use? You can defrost them in warm water when you are ready to enjoy. Or, pack them as freezer packs in your lunch in the morning – they’ll be ready for squeezing by the afternoon.

Sqeeze-able

The size and suppleness of our reusable baby food pouch makes it great for use by those darling little hands.

Welcome to my Mother's Day Gift Guide.Today I have another great company to talk to you about this one is called Neocell this company provided solutions that promote Collagen Health.

Collagen is your body’s most abundant form of natural protein. Your skin is your body’s largest organ and Collagen makes up 90% of the dermal volume. Collagen holds your skin together. As you age the collagen breaks down. Your skin starts to wrinkle, sag, etc. You always hear of people getting collagen injections to try to beat the natural signs of aging. This is a very expensive procedure with short term benefits.

It doesn't just only benefit the skin. Here is some info from Neocell that gives you more info. Collagen supplementation is one of the most fundamental things a person can do to prevent premature aging and promote youthful vitality. Understanding Collagen begins with knowing that it is truly the glue that holds the body together; it is the building block for all our body’s major systems.

A couple of other products I was able to review are the Collagen Radiance Serum $13.59 pictured below: I have noticed a great difference in my skin it looks tighter.

The Neocell, Collagen Radiance Serum, 1 fl oz (30 ml)

Time Release Serum with Vitamin C & E Complex

Potent Antioxidant

Protects & Rejuvenates

Vitamin C & Vitamin E

Paraben Free

Nutrients You Can Trust

Collagen+C Liposome Serum is made using time-release micro-capsules that penetrate the skin to deliver collagen stimulating ingredients and potent anti-oxidants where the skin needs them most. Fat-soluble Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and phospholipids containing essential fatty acids to enhance the skin's firmness, elasticity, and moisture.

The next product I was able to review is the Beauty Mist which retails for $7.17 pictured below: This beauty mist is very refreshing and feels good when sprayed on the face. And makes skin feel less dry.

Super Collagen™ 1&3 is composed of nineteen amino acids and is a rich source of glycine, proline, alanine, and hydroxyproline.

Once taken orally, it can produce peptides that stimulate ﬁbroblast cells to produce and reorganize new collagen ﬁbers which, upon bundling, can build the mechanical strength of the connective tissues and strengthen the extracellular matrix.*

Super Collagen’sTM Advanced Bioavailability

Super Collagen+C™ uses an advanced enzymatic hydrolyzation process to break the large collagen molecules into low molecular-weight peptides that are both bioavailable and bioactive in the body. Super Collagen+C™ contains hydroxypro- line and hydroxylysine, two amino acids speciﬁc to Collagen. These are not regularly found in amino acid supplements and are especially important to collagen production. Collagen +C™ genetically parallels the amino acid structure of the body’s collagen and its been shown that persons takinghydrolyzed Collagen Type 1&3 will experience 90% absorption into the blood stream where cellular changes occur. *

One lucky reader will WIN a Keruig from our friends at Massdrop, the newest way to buy online and save money!

Let me tell you a bit about Massdrop and how you can use this new site to save you MONEY!!! This is unlike any site I have seen before, as it works off of 'group buys' to offer the lowest price and YOU can vote for items you would like to have brought to Massdrop!

Here is how it works - let's say you have always wanted a Keurig B60 Single-Cup Home-Brewing System, but didn't want to pay the high department store price, nor did you want to purchase a refurbished one. What you would do is VOTE to bring the Keurig B60 Single-Cup Home-Brewing System to Massdrop, then once the poll option gets at least 200 votes, they negotiate bulk pricing with the supplier and pass them on to the Massdrop community.

This is where it gets really cool; THE MORE PEOPLE THAT PURCHASE the product, the lower the price!!!

Basically, the sale goes on for seven days, it starts at a certain price and as more people purchase the item the lower the price goes, with up to 3 price drops unlocking until the lowest price available is offered... and in the end you will only be billed for the lowest price; cool, right? The funny thing is that when the community worked together for their first Keurig B60 group-buy, they cleared out all of North American inventory in just a few days.

Oh and a really neat thing is that if you don't see a product that you want, as a community member, you can create a product poll for anything from coffee makers cards to homebrew beer kits. I have a keruig machine and I love it I have had it a few years now and everyone that comes over loves this machine.
